Despite all the ups and downs of their 2021 season, Western Michigan finished it off with a win at Ford Field after all.
Though it wasn’t the MAC Championship game, the Broncos (8-5, 4-4 MAC) ended their season on a high note in Detroit on Monday, earning a 52-24 victory over Nevada (8-5, 5-3 Mountain West) in the Quick Lane Bowl.
Nevada entered this game a team in transition. Head coach Jay Norvell accepted the same role at Colorado State on Dec. 6, and brought a significant portion of his coaching staff with him (the Wolf Pack were without both their offensive and defensive coordinators for this matchup).
